by Hans Adolf Brorson (1694 - 1764)

Drag, Jesu, mig
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
   Mel. O drøvelse, O hiertens &c.
 
Drag, Jesu, mig
Dog efter dig,
Saa følger jeg med længsel,
[Siden]1 du, o Jesu gik
Ud fra verdens trængsel.
 
Drag, Jesu, mig
Dog efter dig,
Fra verdens myre-tue,
At jeg ikke meere [tør]2
[Hendes]3 jammer skue.
 
Drag, Jesu, mig
Dog efter dig,
Med Zions brude-skare,
Thi vi kunde ellers let
Vild i verden fare.
 
Drag, Jesu, mig
Dog efter dig,
Til himmlens fryde-bolig,
Verden er for dine [børn]4
Vildsom og uroelig.
 
Drag, Jesu, mig
Dog efter dig,
Til himlen op at fare,
Der at [staae med glæde-skrig]5
I de frommes skare.
